“…Moreover, salinity resulted in an increased level of TSS in tomato fruit prior to storage. The beneficial effects of salinity on the soluble solids content are in agreement with the reports of other investigators, although it is mentioned that such an increase could be the result of a concentration effect when results are expressed on a fresh weight basis rather than the actual increase of TSS …”

“…The beneficial effects of salinity on the soluble solids content are in agreement with the reports of other investigators, 44,58 although it is mentioned that such an increase could be the result of a concentration effect when results are expressed on a fresh weight basis rather than the actual increase of TSS. 59 Regarding antioxidant compound content, total phenols and -carotene showed contrasting trends. In particular, total phenols content decreased for all the tested Si treatments when salinity increased whereas -carotene increased.…”

BACKGROUND Using water with high salinity for plant fertigation may have detrimental effects on plant development and total yield and on the quality of the crop produced. As a possible means to alleviate the negative effects of salinity, silicon (Si) can be incorporated in the nutrient solution supplied to plants. In the present study, hydroponically grown tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) plants were subjected to two different salinity levels (0 and 50 mmol L−1 NaCl) with and without the application of Si (0 and 2 mmol L−1 K2SiO3) in order to evaluate its possible positive impact on mitigation of salinity stress‐induced symptoms. An additional experiment was implemented with postharvest Si application (sodium silicate) to investigate effects on the shelf‐life of tomato fruit. RESULTS Salinity (50 mmol L−1 NaCl) decreased plant size, total yield and fresh fruit weight while a high percentage of blossom end rot symptoms of tomato fruit was also observed. The application of Si in the nutrient solution counteracted these detrimental effects, generating a higher yield and healthier fruit (lower blossom end rot incidence) compared to the untreated plants (no application of Si). Salinity improved several quality‐related traits in tomato fruit, resulting in higher marketability, whereas the addition of Si (pre‐ and postharvest) maintained fruit firmness following storage thereby increasing the shelf‐life of tomato fruit. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that Si application (pre‐ and postharvest) could provide an effective means of alleviating the unfavorable effects of using low‐quality water in plant fertigation on tomato plant development, fruit yield and post‐harvest quality, through increased fruit firmness. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Ascorbic acid content increased, with an average increase of 8.8% between the low and high EC treatment. Previous work has reported similar results (De Pascale et al, 2001;Ehret et al, 2013;Zushi and Matsuzoe, 2015). Ali and Ismail (2014) reported a 7-fold increase in ascorbic acid content in plants subjected to severe salinity stress (10 dS · m -1 ).…”

“…Total phenolics content and total antioxidants increased, with an average growth of 8.1% and 11.1%, respectively, between the low and high EC treatments. Previous studies found significant differences at extreme EC values (2-10 dS · m -1 ) (Krauss et al, 2006;Van Meulebroek et al, 2012;Zushi and Matsuzoe, 2015) or no differences at moderate EC values (Ali and Ismail, 2014;Kubota et al, 2012). This enhancement may be a response to increased reactive oxygen species linked to water stress level (Krauss et al, 2006).…”

“…Titratable acidity showed significant differences in average growth, from 6.7% to 11.2% in the medium and high EC treatments, respectively, compared with the low EC treatment. In general, increasing plant salinity can be explained by the accumulation of plant osmolites to enable water uptake by the root system (Azarmi et al, 2010;Borghesi et al, 2011;Del Amor et al, 2001;Krauss et al, 2006;S anchez-Gonz alez et al, 2015;Zushi and Matsuzoe, 2015). This accumulation is translated into an increase in total soluble solids and/or titratable acidity.…”

Greenhouse tomato production is shifting to meet emerging consumer needs. Increasing environmental concerns have pressured growers to supply high-quality vegetables using sustainable production methods. The utilization of adapting fertigation to production conditions and/or nutrient solutions of moderately high conductivity seems promising in providing high yields of superior quality while limiting the emission of nutrients to the environment in greenhouse tomato crops. A tomato crop was grown in soilless culture with various levels of electrical conductivity (EC), 2.2, 3.5, and 4.5 dS·m−1, adjusting the final nutrient concentration and maintaining nutritional balance. The effect of nutrient solutions with moderately high EC on fertigation parameters and the emission of nutrients to the environment, total crop productivity, distribution of fruit sizes, and dietary and organoleptic qualities were measured. Nutrient solutions of moderately high EC decreased total and commercial yield, with an average reduction from 5% to 19% and 3% to 22%, respectively. A considerable decrease in extra large and large fruits, with an average reduction from 69% to 42%, was also observed. Nonetheless, dietary-related metabolites were significantly increased at the highest EC values: lycopene (6.3%), ascorbic acid (8.8%), total phenolics content (8.3%), and total antioxidant activity (11.1%). EC values of 3.5 and 4.5 dS·m−1 are not widely used in commercial production but are frequently measured in drainage solutions in open hydroponic systems and discarded solutions in closed systems, mainly because of the use of poor-quality water and the accumulation of excess nutrients.
